LYSIMACHIA, Goldilocks

Goldilocks is a low-growing perennial that makes an excellent spiller plant, gracefully trailing over the edge of planters, hanging baskets, and containers. It adds a beautiful chartreuse-yellow colour that will complement the accompanying flowers. Blooming in late spring, the cup-shaped, yellow flowers and green foliage will show the best colour in full sun. Goldilocks is easy to grow and extremely hardy, but will need some trimming to keep the plant neat, compact and restricted. Its tolerance of damp soils makes it an effective addition to bog or water gardens, pond borders, and along stream banks.
